I’ve been using Sofa Control for my Apple Remote since I bought my Mac in 2009. I use Sofa Control pretty much every week when I volunteer with the youth ministry at my church. The Apple Remote by itself only works with certain programs that are designed to handle its input and it lacked support for other programs we were using such as OpenSong, which we use for song lyrics. So I bought a license for Sofa Control. Recently Sofa Control’s move to the App Store required all existing customers to repurchase the license. I didn’t want to shell out another Continue Reading
My take on free entertainment at the Richmond Night Market
I went to check out Richmond Night Market at its new location near River Rock Casino.

Life of a new graduate
It’s the end of one era and a beginning of another. Three weeks ago, I (finally) graduated with a B.Sc. in Computer Science, marking the end of my undergraduate student career. Although it took six years, I think it was worth the time, especially the co-op work terms I did. After all, it was my last co-op term at A Thinking Ape that got me my full-time position there. I just finished my second week at A Thinking Ape, and so far it has been a blast. The company doubled its size since I co-oped there last year and now Continue Reading
